tergent but without any washing to clean the tub.

Insert the washing, close the drum and the cover of your
washing machine.
Warning : before you close the co-
ver of your washing machine,
make sure that the drum door is
properly closed:
•the two flaps latched together,
•the locking button A extended.
3.2.2. Proportioning of detergents
Your washing machine was designed to reduce water and
detergent consumption, therefore reduce the doses recom-
mended by detergent manufacturers.
Pour the powder detergent dose into the wash compartment
and into the prewash compartment
if you chose the
«prewash» option. Pour in the softener into the
compart-
ment and Javel water into the
compartment if you wish.
If you are using a different type of detergent, refer to the «de-
tergents and additives» section in the washing guide.
